The treatment of energy topics in general chemistry tends to be somewhat fragmented and often lacks coherence and connections to other core ideas. We have developed a theoretical learning progression in the context of our general chemistry text Chemistry, Life, the Universe & Everything, and after two cycles of design research have revised this progression to incorporate the results of our assessment activities. The revised learning progression will be discussed with examples from our findings.
